anyone tell me how to rotate images in a thread?

I use PaintShopPro. Probably any paint program will work.

The problem is the forum software ignores the rotation information. So when you rotate a picture on the phone or with the Windows explorer, it does it the "easy" way of just setting the rotation info.

Since the forum ignores that, if you've got a photo you need to align a different way than default you need to actually rotate the bits in a paint program.

It'd be a pretty trivial fix in the vBulletin upload code, no idea why they (the vBulletin people) don't fix that!

If I have that problem, I will import them to a word document, rotate, save picture as, it will stay in that position when you post it in a forum.

Yah, I thought I would have to use a editing type program...was hoping someone knew a way to rotate within the forum! Oh well!!
